Excerpt from The Ibis, 1874, Vol. 4: A Quarterly Journal of OrnithologyThe last three numbers of this Journal (including the Supplement) of the past year, and the first two of the present, were edited by Mr. P. L. Sciater Whilst I was absent from England for fourteen months. In relieving me of a duty that I must otherwise have relinquished, and adding it to his own manifold engagements, Mr. Sclater has evinced, were such token necessary, his unfiagging zeal for the welfare of the ibis, ' for Which the Members of the British Ornithologists' Union, as well as myself, owe him our best thanks.It Will be observed that the Index to the Orni thological Literature, appended to each of the pre vious volumes of the Third Series of this Journal, has been omitted in the present. This has been done at the generally expressed Wish of the Members of the Union. The change, I regret to say, involves a considerable hiatus in the record of current orni thological literature between the commencement of 1878 and the present time, Which I have not seen my way to avoid. If What is past cannot be reme died, it remains to me in future numbers to render as complete as possible in some other form this very essential portion of our Journal.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
